New description:

 Both ports want to install the following:
 {{{
   /opt/local/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/et/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
   /opt/local/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo

 }}}
 Perhaps hfstar should be patched to change the names of its message files
 to end in hfstar.mo rather than tar.mo (and to find them accordingly).
 Ryan also suggested that its info file should be changed from tar.info to
 hfstar.info. He also mentioned the possibility that as ancient as hfstar
 is, its unique features MIGHT have been subsumed into gnutar, making it
 obsolete. Perhaps that's worth checking, too.
